1 Korintiyawa 9

1 Ba ni da’yanci ne? Ni ba manzo ba ne? Ni ban gan Yesu Ubangijinmu ba ne? Ba ku ne sakamakon aikina cikin Ubangiji ba?

Am I not an Apostle? Am I not a freeman? Have I not seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

2 Ko da waɗansu ba su ɗauke ni a matsayin manzo ba, tabbatacce, ni manzo ne a gare ku! Gama ku ne hatimin manzancina a gaban Ubangiji.

If to others I am not an Apostle, yet, to you, at least, I am; for the seal of my apostleship, are you, in the Lord.

3 Wannan ita ce kāriyata ga waɗanda suke tuhumata game da manzancina.

My answer to them who condemn me, is this:

4 Ba mu da’yancin ci da sha ne?

Have we not liberty to eat, and to drink?

5 Ba mu da’yancin tafiya tare da matar da muka aura mai bi kamar sauran manzanni da’yan’uwan Ubangiji da kuma Kefas suke yi?

Have we not liberty to lead about a sister wife, as the other Apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

6 Ko ni da Barnabas ne kawai ba mu da’yanci a ɗauke mana aikin ci da kai?

Or, have I, only, and Barnabas, not liberty to forbear working?

7 Wa yake ciyar da kansa yayinda yake aikin soja? Wa yake shukar gonar inabi, da ba ya cin amfaninta? Wa yake kiwon garke, da ba ya sha madararsa?

Who, at any time, serves in the wars, on his own charges? Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who feeds a flock, and does not eat of the milk of the flock?

8 Ina faɗin wannan bisa ga ra’ayin mutum kawai ne? Ashe, Doka ma ba tă faɗa haka ba?

Do I speak these things as a man? Or does not the law also say these things?

9 Gama yana a rubuce a cikin Dokar Musa cewa, “Kada ka sa wa saniya takunkumi sa’ad da yake sussukar hatsi.” Kuna tsammani a kan shanu ne Allah ya damu sa’ad da ya ce haka?

For, in the law of Moses it is written, "You shall not muzzle the ox treading out the corn." Does God take care of the oxen?

10 Babu shakka, ya yi maganan nan saboda mu ne. Ko ba haka ba? I, an rubuta wannan saboda mu ne, domin sa’ad da mai noma yake noma, mai sussuka kuma yana sussuka, suna wannan ne da bege za su sami rabonsu daga girbin.

Or, does he command this chiefly for our sakes? For our sakes, certainly, it is written: because, he who plows, ought to plough in hope; and he who threshes in hope, ought to partake of his own hope.

11 In muka shuka iri na ruhaniya a cikinku, ashe, bai kamata mu yi girbin abin biyan bukatarmu daga gare ku ba?

If we have sown for you spiritual things, is it a great matter, if we shall reap your carnal things?

12 In waɗansu suna samun wannan taimako daga gare ku, ashe, mu ba mu fi cancanta mu samu ba? Amma ba mu yi amfani da wannan’yancin ba. A maimakon haka, mun jure da kome, domin kada mu hana bisharar Kiristi yaɗuwa.

If others partake of this authority over you, ought not we, rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power; but we bear all things, that we may not give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

13 Ashe, ba ku san cewa waɗanda suke hidima a haikali suna samun abincinsu daga haikali ba ne, waɗanda kuma suke hidima a bagade suna samun rabo a hadayar da suka miƙa ba ne?

Do you not know that they who perform sacred offices, eat from the temple? Do not they who wait at the altar share with the altar?

14 Haka ma Ubangiji ya umarta cewa ya kamata waɗanda suke wa’azin bishara, su sami abin biyan bukatarsu daga bisharar.

So also, the Lord has appointed them who announce the gospel, to live by the gospel.

15 Amma ban yi amfani da ko ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan’yancin ba. Ba kuma ina rubuta muku wannan da fata za ku yi mini waɗannan abubuwa ba ne. Gwamma in mutu, da wani yă hana ni wannan abin taƙama.

But I have used none of these privileges; neither have I written these things that it should be done to me: for it were good for me rather to die, than that any one should make my boasting void.

16 Duk da haka, sa’ad da ina wa’azin bishara, ba na taƙama, domin tilas ne a gare ni in yi wa’azi. Kaitona, in ban yi wa’azin bishara ba!

For when I declared the gospel, I have nothing to boast of; because necessity is laud upon me: yes, woe awaits me if I declare not the gospel.

17 In na yi wa’azi da yardar rai, ina da lada; in ba da yardar rai ba, ina dai cika amana da aka danƙa mini ne.

Now, if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but, if against my will, still I am intrusted with the stewardship.

18 To, mene ne ladana? Ladana kaɗai shi ne, in yi wa’azin bishara, in kuma yi shi a kyauta, yadda ba zan yi amfani da’yancina cikin wa’azin ba.

What, then, is my reward? that, when declaring the gospel, I shall exhibit the gospel of Christ without charge, in order that I may not abuse my power in the gospel.

19 Ko da yake ina da’yanci ba na kuma ƙarƙashin kowa, na mai da kaina bawa ga kowa, domin in rinjayi mutane da yawa.

For, though I be a freeman, with respect to all; I have made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more.

20 Ga Yahudawa na zama kamar mutumin Yahuda, domin in rinjayi Yahudawa. Ga waɗanda suke ƙarƙashin doka kuma, na zama kamar wanda yake ƙarƙashin Dokar (ko da yake ni kaina ba na ƙarƙashin Doka), domin in rinjayi waɗanda suke ƙarƙashin Doka.

So, to the Jews, I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to those under the law, (though not under the law) as under the law, that I might gain those under the law:

21 Ga waɗanda ba su da Dokar kuwa, na zama kamar wanda ba shi da Dokar (ko da yake ba ni da’yanci daga dokar Allah, amma ina ƙarƙashin dokar Kiristi), domin in rinjayi waɗanda ba su da dokar.

to those without law, as without law, (not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, ) that I might gain those that are without law.

22 Ga waɗanda ba su da ƙarfi, na zama marar ƙarfi, domin in rinjayi waɗanda ba su da ƙarfi. Na zama dukan abu ga dukan mutane, domin ko ta yaya in zai yiwu, in ceci waɗansu.

To the weak, I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. To all, I have become all things, that, by all means, I might same some.

23 Ina yin dukan waɗannan ne saboda bishara, domin in sami rabo a cikin albarkarta.

Now, this I do for the sake of the gospel, and that I may become a joint partaker of its rewards.

24 Ba ku sani ba cewa a gasar gudu, dukan masu gudu sukan yi gudu, amma guda ne kaɗai yakan sami lada? To, sai ku yi gudu yadda za ku sami lada.

Do you not know that they who run a race, all run, but one only receives the prize? So run, that you may lay hold of the prize?

25 Duk’yan wasan gasa sukan hori kansu sosai. Sukan yi haka domin su sami rawanin da ba zai daɗe ba. Amma mu muna yi ne domin mu sami rawanin da zai dawwama.

Now, every one who contends is temperate in all things: they, indeed, that they may receive a fading crown; but we, one that does not fade.

26 To, ni fa ba gudu nake yi kamar mai gudu ba wurin zuwa ba. Dambena kuma ba naushin iska nake yi ba.

I, therefore, so run, as not out of view. So I fight, not as beating the air:

27 A’a, ina horon jikina in mai da shi bawana, saboda bayan na yi wa waɗansu wa’azi, ni kaina kada in kāsa cancantar samun lada.

but, I mortify my body, and keep it in subjection; lest, perhaps, having proclaimed to others, I myself should not be accepted.
